Breezer Supercell Expert 29 inch Bike

What happens when the godfather of mountain biking teams up with the world's leading mechanical engineers? The Supercell emerges. Joe Breeze has created a groundbreaking new trail bike. 29 inch wheels and 120mm of suspension travel lead to a rig that redefines big wheel handling and full-suspension efficiency. The secret to the success of the Supercell frame is Breezer's MLink (Mid Link) technology. The Supercell comes with a critical pivot in the middle of the chainstay, balancing out opposing forces for a smooth and efficient system with less flex, less binding, and less bearing and pivot stress. Unmatched efficiency gives you better climbing power, greater speed, and increased control.

It took longer to unpack the bike than to assemble it. It took another hour to set up the suspension and front derailleur. I havent done any adjustments since. A nice job by Breezer and Pricepoint. I did have to download some manuals from the X fusion website to setup the suspension correctly The frame is robust and components are quality so I foresee this bike being very durable for the longterm and perhaps a good bike for larger riders due to the beefy frame I was concerned about the weight of the bike as it was 3 pounds heavier than my hardtail. Once I got it on the trail I did not notice the weight and but I did notice this bike rode AMAZINGLY well. Suspension keeps it hooked up whether cornering or climbing. It downhills with security and you never feel like its going to break loose unexpectedly. Confidence inspiring! I keep setting PR's on strava. FIrst ride I PR'd a big hill that has vexed me for a while and I wasnt even trying. The more I ride, the more PR's Im accumulating and the more I love this bike. Did I mention it climbs like a beast? That it just wants you to go faster and faster, always pushing you on? Ive got moderate riding and technical skills and this bike was a big step up from my hardtail. For $1400 I dont think youre going to find a better full suspension bike... And I think it competes well with hardtails in this price range As for weight Ive added a CF bar and seatpost, lighter seat and shaved off 10oz. This helps. Tubeless next!

A little background first: I didn't know anything about the Supercell or Breezer bikes in general before I saw the 2014 Supercell on sale here at Price Point. I read as much as I could and learned a great deal about Joe Breeze and the long history of Breezer bikes. In 1977 Joe's "Breezer 1" was the first frame built specifically for what became mountain biking, it's resides in the Smithsonian (link) . So the pedigree is there, the geometry and handling from years of experience is there, and Breezer bikes collaboration with the Sotto group for the suspension design brings that final element to the table. This review is for the Supercell Expert. Purchased during a sale, the bike shipped very promptly and arrived with the Breezer box packed inside another box with the additional small items I ordered, very well protected. After assembly I did a torque check of all fasteners, adjusted the brakes, derailleurs and installed my pedals. (BTW, it doesn't come with pedals, so if you don't have a favored set already you'll need to buy some) I set the sag 25% or a bit less and she was ready to ride. This is my first 29er, and even though the reviews mention the handling I was concerned it would feel sluggish coming off my lefty equipped Cannondale Rush. Not at all. The Supercell felt great right away, and after a couple of ergonomic adjustments I was ready to go. Took the bike out to the San Joaquin River trail near Fresno, CA. The point I entered the trail starts off with a steep, rutted single-track downhill and the bike performed superbly. The brakes were broken in and working great by the time I got to the bottom. The only thing that held me back on the rest of the ride my my own weakness, since i haven't been riding my legs and lungs were not cooperating. I realized quickly that I should have set the bike up with a bit more sag, since it was a bit stiff. However, it climbs great, is very flickable in the switchbacks, stable and precise downhill, rolls over and through the rocks FAR better than the Rush. X-Fusion suspension worked well, and the interesting mLink rear was very compliant but didn't waste any of my meager energy in the climbs. It's very new, and only time and miles will confirm my initial ride impressions, but it rides great, it's a good looking bike and the build quality appears to be excellent, I'm very pleased with the purchase.
